  1. DESALINATION TECHNOLOGY • THERMAL • MEMBRANE • SOLAR • TECHNICAL • ECONOMICS • ENVIRONMENTAL • POLITICAL

  2. PERFORMANCE OF SPIRAL WOUND MEMBRANES • Membrane separation processes (UF and RO) • Superior treatment • Relatively modest capital and operating costs • Major obstacles • Permeate flux decline • Concentration polarization • Fouling • Temperature effects not well understood

  3. feed flow membrane Js solute permeate cw Jv cb cp convective flow back diffusion { solute boundary layer irreversible bound layer reversible gel layer Concentration Polarization Figure 1

  4. J Flux Decline Due to Fouling Jo(t)-decrease in pure water J(tp)- flux decline due to permeability due to fouling concentration polarization Jo Solvent flux across membrane i = 1 i = 2 Ja1 Ja2 i = n-1 i = n t tp tc membrane life-time -t permeation cleaning Time Figure 2

  5. HUMIDIFICATION/ DEHUMIDIFICATION PROCESSES

  6. SEAWATER GREENHOUSE • FRESH WATER FROM SEA AND BRACKISH WATER • CROP PRODUCTION • COOL HOUSE • ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

  7. Research Approach

  8. AREAS FOR COLLABORATION • Student Training • Demonstration Seawater Greenhouse • Seawater Greenhouse Condenser • USDA/USDI • RO membrane fouling • Applied/Fundamental/Social/Environmental
